If you are thinking about hiring a contractor to do some home improvements or remodeling, it’s important you are well informed. Lately, we’ve received calls from homeowners who are frustrated with their contractors; the homeowners have paid, but the contractor stops showing up before the project is completed.
If
you are using a commercial lender to pay for your contracting, the
lender will set payments up to the contractor in a way that protects
you. People get into trouble, though, when they use their own line
of credit.
If
you choose this route, the most important thing is to check
references. www.AngiesList.com
is a great resource to verify the quality of a contractor’s work.
The next most important thing is payment. Do not pay all at once;
payment out of pocket should be equivalent to the work done.
If
you have any other questions regarding contractors, please give me a
